Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the topping by mixing 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once the muffins are baked, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Brush the tops of the warm muffins with the melted butter and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each muffin.
Let the muffins cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your easy cinnamon sugar muffins!
